Why I collect

Love of baseball, love for the cards. I like to carefully view and read my cards. Touching the cards takes me back and I enjoy time spent sifting through and curating cards. It's also fun to trade through the mail. I put my collection in 3-ring binders and vinyl pages. 

Thank you, TCDB

As I grow in collecting I find my appreciation and affection for this site also rises. Whoever the founders and operators of Trading Card Database are, thank you. I would like to see TCDB.com carry on as a great space and community for collectors.
